The "Deadshot" type (fighter / rogue)

[Linker2k]

Hello,

I was playing with builds the other day and this idea came to me:

VHuman - Crossbow Expert

Stats: 12/16/14/8/14/10

Level progression:

R/F*6/R*4

Archetypes: Champion (Improved Crit), Assasin.

FS: Archery

ASI: Lvl5 - Sharpshooter, Lvl7 - +2 Dex, Lvl10 +2 Dex

Skills: Athletics, Acrobatics, Stealth, *Investigation (E), Insight, Perception (E), Survival.

*Investigation is for the part to gather the hit information and plan a strategy.

By level 11 you will have 2 attacks w/ hand crossbow + bonus attack (3d6) + 3d6 sneak and you have the option to go from +15 (as the ba attack adds the Dex due to main hand) all the way to +45 (for three sharpshooter)

The best part is that you can also action surge for two more attacks.

On defense you will have 17 AC w uncanny dodge.

Is this viable? And if so, what do you think? Maybe rogue 2 fast for the cunning action?

One thing you may want to consider is battle master fighter instead of champion fighter. Your superiority dice get multiplied when you crit, so when you get a surprise round and hit, you'll get even more damage on that. It might not be as good if you never manage to get a surprise round though; I haven't done the math. It's something worth your consideration if you really want to "alpha strike" though.

I am thinking fighter 11 and rogue 7 arcane trickster for the improved crit + 3 attacks + advantage with the hand

I think Assassin would work better thematically. Battlemaster would be good as well.
